How to Add Arabic Quran Text to Videos Correctly
Why copying Quran text into a video editor goes wrong, and how to show verified Arabic with correct diacritics, joining and ayah numbers.
Last updated: 2026-10-03
Adding Arabic Quran text in a general video editor often goes wrong in small ways: missing or misplaced diacritics, letters that don’t join, numbers in the wrong direction, or a word lost while copying. In a Quran video those small errors matter.
Use verified text, never retyped text
Quran MP4 never asks you to type or paste the Quran. The text comes from a verified dataset — the Uthmani script published by The Noble Qur’an Encyclopedia, via the open quran-json dataset — and it is checked against a stored checksum every time a video is rendered. In the editor you change only how it looks. Sources are listed on the sources page.
Use a font made for Quran text
Many fonts can show Arabic but not every Quranic mark. The editor offers Amiri Quran, Scheherazade New, Noto Naskh Arabic and Noto Sans Arabic, each checked against every ayah so that no character is missing. If a font has only one weight, the editor tells you instead of faking bold.
Don’t stretch the letters
Letter spacing breaks the joining of Arabic letters, so it isn’t offered. Use word spacing instead. For the same reason the typewriter effect reveals whole words, never single letters.
Ayah numbers
Ayah numbers are added as an end-of-ayah ornament with Arabic-Indic digits, and they stay attached to the last word so a line never starts with a number. You can choose the ornament style or turn numbers off.
Translations
Translations are published human translations — Saheeh International (English) and Muhammad Hamidullah (French). A translation conveys meaning; it isn’t the Quran itself, so it is shown separately from the Arabic, above or below it.
